Played part-open the sizzle sound remains deep, and live with a band we found these hats didn't cut through as well as, say, Sabian's HHX X-celerator hats. But as the Click moniker implies they should record discreetly."<br> | Played part-open the sizzle sound remains deep, and live with a band we found these hats didn't cut through as well as, say, Sabian's HHX X-celerator hats.

Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The name of the 14" HHX Click hats refers to Sabian's contention that they have an electronic click-track quality. They combine the high-profile shape of the AA series with HH and HHX hammering, have fully-lathed bottoms but only half-lathed tops.
While the ride has a rather tinny, shrill body the 14" HHX Click hats have a dark and mellow closed sound. Similar to the ride though, the stick-tip response is distinct, and if you apply pressure with your foot the pitch raises way up so you can get some novel effects, while the pedalled 'chip' sound adds breadth and complexity.
Played part-open the sizzle sound remains deep, and live with a band we found these hats didn't cut through as well as, say, Sabian's HHX X-celerator hats. But as the Click moniker implies they should record discreetly."
